November 11 2015 - 7:00PM
The e-Learning maritime training pacesetter reaches
several new milestones as vessel operators continue to invest in
crew training despite a tough economic climate
VideotelTM, the leading international provider of e-Learning
maritime training and software solutions and a company of KVH
Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), announced today that its training
solutions are now in use on more than 12,000 vessels worldwide,
with more than 300 new vessels having joined in the third quarter
of 2015 alone. A further milestone reached by the award-winning
training-program producer is that Videotel has recorded more than
10 million training events in recent years.
In addition, Videotel has recently secured the business of a
fleet of 24 vessels from a new offshore vessel client based in the
Far East who, despite the current economic downturn, believes good
training is absolutely essential for the safe operation of its
fleet.
“We are truly pleased that our company is continuing to grow
despite very tough market conditions out there today,” says Nigel
Cleave, CEO of Videotel. “It once again reaffirms that by producing
quality products that meet the training needs of the maritime
market, responsible ship owners and ship management companies will
invest in their staff to ensure they are properly trained to carry
out their duties safely.”
Videotel’s success over the years is due in part to its efforts
to continually expand its delivery platforms to meet the needs of
the maritime industry. For example, Videotel’s Basic Training
Package of 20 essential maritime training programs is now available
with the IP-MobileCastTM content delivery service, and through an
agreement with Inmarsat.
Videotel is showcasing its comprehensive range of training
solutions for the maritime industry at the CrewConnect
Global Manning & Training Conference, at the Hotel
Sofitel in Manila, through November 13.
Earlier this year, Videotel received the highly acclaimed Golden
Reel Award from the Media Communications Association-International
(MCA-I) in recognition of a training video that Videotel created
for ExxonMobil Marine. Videotel has received nearly 100 awards for
its training programs and software in recent years.
Videotel recently launched the new print edition of its training
catalogue, STCW Maritime Training Catalogue 2015-2017, detailing
the complete Videotel selection of 950 new and updated titles
available in a range of formats. Videotel’s computer-based training
(CBT) programmes are included, an area that boasts an impressive
500+ e-Learning courses, more than twice the number of CBTs offered
by competitors. Also launched at the same time was the latest
Videotel on Demand (VOD) release, which includes a total of 59
e-Learning courses – 37 new, 22 updated – to meet current seafarer
training needs.
